COVID 19, Mapping the No-Stop Home Office.

«In No-Stop-Home-Office walls are not borders these days, but become connecting lines.»

Over the first few weeks of COVID-19 quarantine, the world, living and working together has been turned upside down. In order to contain the spread of the corona virus and to protect our fellow human beings, we have - as far as possible - been moving home with our work. Sofas and kitchen tables became temporary workplaces, living rooms and bedrooms became the background for videoconferences, private interiors awakened to a new venue for public activities. Thus, cities and their inhabitants are confronted with a sudden inversion of public and private space.

For the Architects collective, this circumstance is the reason to map this new working landscape as a collective structure, a superstructure «No-Stop-Home-Office». The emerged collage – consisting of nearly 1000 drawings from all over the world – raises many questions since the mapped conditions of the interior reflect the multi-layered external forces. The work-in-progress stand of the drawing has been exhibited at the Architekturgalerie of Munich.
